Why we need named arguments in PHP

Read Original

The article advocates for voting 'yes' on the named arguments RFC for PHP 8. It addresses the primary concern of open-source maintainers—that renaming parameters becomes a breaking change—by arguing such renames are rare and often coincide with major releases. The author, an OSS maintainer, suggests packages can opt-out of supporting named arguments if needed, but the feature's benefits for developer experience (DX) and code clarity should not be denied.
